Yeah, great album indeed! But let's not forget «Haus Der Luege», thier second best IMO. About Test Dept I saw them in November 1990 at "New Music America" in Montreal. That was such an amazing performance! Nothing "normal" here, really strange & innovative for that time. One of the best show I ever seen! In fact Test Dept release an album of that performance called «Proven In Action» Yep, I got it! (view cover HERE) On the original pressing (released by 'em #DEPT02) they even dedicated the album to J-F Veilleux of «The Bunker».
The olds (like me) surely remember this cool guy who introduced us all to industrial music. -------------------- >>> C'est fini l'école...à souère c'est Voïvod! <<<

Yeah, I remember the guy from the Bunker that was a small but great store, not only for industrial music but also for hard-core and punk.
I saw that show of Test Dept. in Montreal too, also saw Einsturzende at the same festival, but my favorite show of that festival was The Residents, they did the Elvis show, which was amazing, listening to Elvis' song is slow motion that was very interesting. If you want to know the Residents, listen to "Mark of the Mole" and "Eskimo".
Btw no Einstur. never recorded with Harris Johns but friends of them were working there, “Sprung Aus Den Wolken”. And yes perhaps they were a sort of influence on Voivod, Away liked the way Metal percussions were used and the sound of them, I liked the way noise was used to create harmony and how you could compose melodie with them. I myself was later more influenced by industrial music once I started doing music for my dance company, I build a few percussive industrial instruments, and start banging on them, good for stress relief and sampling. It's hard to say if industrial music was the edge musically for Voivod. Piggy and I listened more contemporain classical music, like Bartok, Penderecki, Starvinsky at that time, which definetly were our main influences, but we also listen to Karlheinz Stockhausen and Edgar Varese which is the advangarde of industrial music. So it is hard to say, we liked the industrial music a lots, that is certain.
